bath time

When do you give your little ones a bath? morning? night?

I have been showering with lo #1 and then bathing lo # 2.  All this takes place in the morning (or afternoon..lol), but I feel like it takes up the whole morning. 

Thanks!

I only give the baby a bath twice a week, as she has eczema. I shower with the oldest everyday.

If you feel like your mornings are full of baths/showers, maybe give the baby a bath at night instead and do every other night-babies don't need to be bathed daily.

Usually mornings before my husband goes to work.

I take #1 into the shower with me, scrub, switch kids with my husband, he dries and dresses #1 while I scrub #2, then I pass out #2 for him to dry and dress while I take a few minutes to actually wash my own hair!

Assuming neither is super grubby we can assembly line showers and be done in less than an hour from start to finish.

Every other evening.  Sometimes I bathe them together because DD#1 LOVES the tub and would be in there forever.

At night - when DD was younger I did the baths on opposite nights, because they both only had one every other night.  Now, we do them together after dinner every other night.  It takes about 30 min from start of bath until they are both in bed...45 if I am alone.

My kids usually gets baths in the morning, unless there's a pooptastic emergency at some other time of day. There is no rhyme or reason to what mornings they get bathed. I rarely do it on the same day because it's so time-consuming and we're always running late anyway.

I was doing more showers with DD1, but I started to feel bad because she loves playingi nthe bath so much. I really need to make an effort to bathe her when there's more time so she can play in the tub. I'm probably going to start giving them baths at the same time soon. Now that DD2 is into splashing too, I think they will have fun taking a bath together.
